One To Fear

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom; The fear of man will only cause you to fail. But the Lord is your Helper, Light and Salvation; In His house all the days of your life seek to dwell. He is your strength when you are verbally abused. When you are discredited by humans so frail, Trust in the Lord and cry out to His name; He is on your side, you should know this well. Your righteousness shall be forever and ever But to evildoers, your Salvation shall quell. They shall be eaten up like garments by moths And be cut down like grass in the sun with a flail. So what God tells you in darkness, speak it in light; What He whispers in your ear, on the roof tops wail. For if you are ashamed of His words in front of others, He will be ashamed of you before His Father and angels. So do not be afraid of what people can do to your flesh; Do not be afraid of those who can die and what they tell, But fear the only One after that the body has been killed Who can destroy both it and your soul in a fiery Hell.
